Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

I solved the gas price problem by moving to a border city 1.5 years ago. Cross border shopping can really stretch your retirement budget. I kept my RV "hobby" and have added several others. :thumbup:...

Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

Not much price relief in sight, almost 3 months since I started the thread, and that's very disappointing.
Oil has pulled back almost 18% since then, but the price of gas has only reduced by about...

Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

Hope springs eternal, not sure what the motivation was, but I just read the CME has
bumped the margin 25% on crude oil futures, in an attempt to curb fly by night
speculation. The price of crude...

Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

So much for a break at the pumps.
Oil rose $5.87/bbl today.
They already announced a $0.06/liter jump tonight overnight.

Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

At $3.87/USgal you're paying $1.00/Liter.
We topped out last week before the crude oil swoon at $1.38/Liter for regular in my area, but other
areas were paying closer to $1.50/Liter - markopolo's...

Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

Good observations. I would agree with your evaluations of the current state of affairs
in the RV specific, and in the overall real world of recreational travel.
I certainly wish it weren't that...

Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

You're entitled to your opinion. I just thought the comment about "selling your B" was arrogant,
and in many "of our faces". If I'm the only one who feels this way, and comments, so be it. If your ...

Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

I don't necessarily think being penny-wise and watching when and where you spend your money is being "worried".
I think it's just a reality for many people. That's why many of us chose a class B in...

Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

Gas prices and now complete transmission failures too.
My everyday vehicle's tranny just gave up the ghost.
It's a 2002 Escape XLT with 215,000 kms on it.
It was totally unexpected, but I did just...

Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

I suppose you could argue that if gas does come back down again, you can call the recent prices

Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

Our gas prices just topped $1.30/L ($4.94/USgallon) and the US average price is around $1/L ($3.80/USgallon)
so we're delaying our planned trip in a couple of weeks (sorry Davydd, probably won't...
